Happy Saturday! It has been warm
here this week, and I’ve gotten to enjoy some shorts in the capsule wardrobe
mix! I’m not hit with a wall of frigid when I open the door to go outside. It’s
amazing. I’d truly forgotten what that was like! So while I’m enjoying the warm
here, I hope you are enjoying things you love right where you are! And I hope
you love a thing or two from this week’s Saturday Suggestions!
ONE.
I swooned a little over this sweet cottage tour. I think my favorite part is whatever that gorgeous arch
detail is called – the one built into the doorway. I’ve never seen anything
quite like it, and I think it’s stunning. But I was also drawn in by the story
of how the owner moved the house to an island. I mean…why not? Who doesn’t move
a house to an island, right? It looks so peaceful, and it might be a good thing
that it’s all the way over in Australia. 😉 BONUS: And speaking of sweet little cottages, check
out this coastal one. I love the colors and, well, everything about it!
TWO.
It’s a known and documented fact that I am not a graceful
air-traveler. Some of you might remember the stories of panicking in security
lines at the airport, of freaking out during turbulent flights, and of how Ryan
falls asleep the minute he steps on a plane, leaving me to breathe through the
panic on my own. (He’s so fortunate. He doesn’t know what a gift that
instant-sleep thing is!) Anyway, because of my panic when flying, this post rang especially true, but the bigger truth is that I
wrestle with major anxiety quite often, and the words of this post hold true
whether it has to do with flying or simply walking through the grocery store.
If you wrestle with anxiety – give it a read! (If you’re not riddled with
anxiety, but you know people who are, give it a read so you can know how to
support them!)
THREE.
One of my goals for May is to work on my little at-home
coffee bar idea. I am cobbling together ideas from several sources, as my space
for this is a unique one. But here is one of the articles
I found helpful – and the pictures at the end are just cute! (Note: I’m trying
to use things we already own, rather than buying new things, so mine is more
about putting said items in one space.)
FOUR.
I love all the lights people around the lake keep in their yards, and I especially love it that most of them keep the lights up year round! As summer begins, people are adding more little lights here and there, and I think this idea is super cute! Easy, cute, beachy, and fun!
FIVE.
I’ve always thought mosaic art is so fascinating. All
artists inspire me with their ability to see things I can’t envision, but mosaics
are extra beautiful to me. All the brokenness turned beautiful…and these window art pieces are just stunning. I love them!
SIX.
And Oh. My. Goodness. If you want to best list ever of
reader recommendations, check out this post from Thistlewood Farm. If you need
gift ideas, fun ideas, and hours of reading, you can find it all here! She is continuing to update it throughout the weekend, so check back often! (The
phone umbrella may be the cutest.)

Your spring capsule is so cute! We've finally gotten nicer weather and it is the best!!
When I finished reading the blog on God being with us through anxiety, I realized the song "God Is with Us" by The Afters was playing on WBCL!! What a great reminder to read about and listen to God's presence in our lives.
